 Based upon the research I have done today, there are not many schools in Israel which are true Arab-Jewish schools. However, there is a definite trend among many parents to push for the inclusion of Arab students in Jewish Schools and Jewish students in Arab Schools. In some Jewish schools there may be a few Arab students, although these students are not acclimated appropriately into the Jewish culture of the school. The opposite is true within some Arab schools.

Peace Child Israel an organization established in 1988 utilizes theatre and the arts to create cross-cultural dialogue in Israel. Teens both Arab and Jewish come together from all parts of the country throughout the year, attending three day workshops in Conflict Management. Through theatre and the arts students work through various conflicts to develop the necessary skills to relate with one another. They perform and produce plays and share in creations of other art forms. Their productions are performed in Arabic and Hebrew.

School for Peace located in Neve Shalom a Jewish-Arab village in Israel is financed by the Zionist Organization of America. Neve Shalom and Wahat Al-Salam (NSWAS) The Arab-Jewish Scoool for Kindergarten through grade six is in Neve Shalom, a village of about fifty families with over 300 families on a waiting list to live there. Neve Shalom Wahat Al-Salam the names of the school each mean "Oasis of Peace." About 300 children not all from the village attend the Kindergarten and Primary Grade School. After grade six students move to an Arab School or Jewish School depending upon their nationality or preference for the Junior and Senior High school.

The best site I found, which really reveals the conflict of Arab-Jewish inhabitants of Isreal, and the manner, in which the young, and those helping them have an ever deepening desire to make their lives better.

Juniior hIgh school students can attend the Givat Haviva Jewish-Aras Center for Peace, whose goal is to bring junior high students together. Three areas of learning are incorporated into the programs: peace education; Promotion of peace and non-violence and learning ways to deal with conflict through dialogue.

Kids4Peace brings together Jewish, Muslim and Christian children ages 10-12 to meet regularly in Jerusalem, for intercultural and interfaith activities. Children travel to the United States for summer camp under the program. The program was originally organized by St. George's College.

There are schools in parts of Israel named Hand in Hand Bilingual Schools, and The Hope Flowers Secondary School in Bethlehem are Arab-Jewish Schools. The Jewish school Shalom Aleichem in Lod, accepts Arab students, in fact about half of the students are Arab and Zevulen Hammer school in Lod accepts Jewish students. In Hadash none of the schools are mixed or bilingual schools.

Enter Arab-Jewish schools in Israel into your web browser, click and you find several pages of additional websites with interesting information about the Arab-Jewish relationships, in respect to the education of children and youth in Israel.
